* MilesGloriosus: A complicated case. The skills and accomplishments he boasts of early on in the film are absolutely genuine, but years of constantly looking over his shoulder, knowing his skills are deteriorating with age, and living in constant fear that his next gunfight will be his last have hollowed him out to the point that holding onto his bravado is practically the only thing keeping him from breaking down completely.

I removed the hypocrite has a point example for Calvera. This was about how Calvera argued that the Seven would likely get a fair trial if committing a crime in the US but he and his men would be discriminated against for being Mexican. This trope isn’t about a villainous character being right when complaining about something. This trope is about people not practicing what they preach but still being right about what they preach. The scene in question featured Calvera pointing out that it would be easier for the Seven to be criminals in the US because the government wouldn’t send out armies of men against them like they would do with him. He may be right that it would be easier for them to commit crimes in the US, but that’s not this trope. Calvera wasn’t telling them “don’t do this thing, even though I do it”. If Calvera had told the Seven not to be criminals themselves while he was doing it, that may be him being a hypocrite and align with this trope (assuming he had a good reason why they shouldn’t be criminals to constitute the “point”). Him telling them to be criminals where it’s easier for them while he can be a criminal where it’s easier with him doesn’t really align with this trope. Stealing from people in Mexico also isn’t inherently justified just because he would be very harshly hunted if he tried to do so from people in the US. So I don’t think either the “hypocrite” or the “point” part of this trope applies. So I don’t believe this trope applies.

* HypocriteHasAPoint: When he sends the Seven away, he gives them an anecdote about the time he robbed a bank in Texas and the government sent a whole army after him. Although he had an army sent after him because he had a gang of forty men, Calvera correctly states that the Seven, who are mostly white, will get a fair trial and be released on bail if caught, while Calvera's gang, all Mexican, will be racially profiled almost instantly.

I removed the second dot point for the Even Evil Has Standards trope for Calvera. This was about how he was critical of other criminals being treated better than him because of their race. The trope is about evil characters having lines they won’t cross. If the example was him refusing to discriminate on the grounds of race, I believe that would be this trope. Him complaining that it’s unfair that other characters will discriminate in a way that harms him, without touching on his willingness to engage in the same behaviour, doesn’t establish any line that he won’t cross. So I don’t believe this trope apples.

** He's also critical of the white privilege that criminals get north of the border. "In Texas", he declares, "only Texans can rob banks".
